Can you have 2 itunes accounts on one pc using separate user accounts?
We've bought a new PC laptop and set up two user accounts for my husband and myself. I've installed itunes and downloaded my music in my account. In my husband's user account we can set him up but he can't download music for 90 days... we've set up a new itunes library folder with a different name but this still doens't work. Has anyone found a solution to this?
thanks :-)
Hello anner15,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Best of luck,
Mario

Can you have 2 iTunes accounts on one MAC Desktop
I have a MAC Desktop which my husband and I share. We each have our own Itunes accounts, mine which is stored on an old Mac Book Pro with issues. In order for me to use the cloud I need to get my Itunes account onto the desktop. This laptop can not be updated to the icloud becasue of its problems. We can share the contacts and the calendar from the desktop, but we each have our own music. Can you have 2 itunes accounts on one desktop?
Yes. Use separate Mac OS X user accounts, or launch iTunes with the Option key held down as needed.

Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer?
Can you have two itunes accounts on the same computer and if so how do you access them without syncing each others music?
Yes. Use separate iTunes libraries(launch iTunes with the Shift(Windows) or Option(Mac OS X) key held down as needed), or different user accounts on the computer.

can you have 2 itunes account on the same computer?
Yes, go to your Windows Control Panel and create another user,log into it, run iTunes and it's ready to rock and roll.
Transfer your content over via USB Key, Dropbox or external drive.
Heck the best thing would be to File > Backup library to disk with a bunch of DVD-R's, therefore you get a backup in the process!
Good Luck -

Can you have two itunes accounts on a single phone?
Is it possible on an iphone 5s to have two itunes accounts? My child is getting to an age, where they should have their own itunes account. We share music and applications and i do not want to have to re-buy everything?
you can but you can also get locked out the way varjak is recommending for 90 days. what i advise is to use a computer and itunes. authorise both ids and sign in with 1st download purchases then second and download purchases. then sync content to your phone. these will help

Can you have two iTunes accounts on one computer?
Just bought a MacBook Air which I'm sharing with my husband. Is it possible to have two active iTunes accounts on one computer? We both have very different tastes in music and we have our own iPhones that we'd like to update differently. Would be great to have the option to separate our accounts.
Yes you can... and it's not that hard

"Won't it present problems if the daughter needs to reauthorize the computer for her own use before 90 days,"
No. The 90 day limit ONLY applies to redownloading purchases from iTunes..
So if she were to redownload purchases from the father's account then she'd have to wait 90 days to redownload form her own account. and the computer can be authorized for multiple iTunes account (pretty sure it's 5) . You don't need to later reauthorize for first account if you authorize for a different account.
More discussion on 90 day wait period - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6094005 - disable automatic downloads so message doesn't appear when using multiple accounts.

is it possible to seperate multiple itunes store accounts and music libraries on 1 computer for 2 iphones ?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You just need to create a second iTunes account on your PC or Mac.
To do it, open iTunes while holding down the Option (Alt) key (on a Mac) or the Shift key, and press the option to create an iTunes option. You will have to open iTunes with that key when you want to switch libraries -
Can you have multiple iTunes accounts associated with one email address?
My current iTunes account is associated with my company email address that I am attempting to change to my personal email address that I share with my husband.The problem is his iTunes account is also associated with this email address. Is there a way to add my account to our joint email address?
No. Purchases made on each account are permanently tied to a unique email address and cannot be changed, and accounts cannot be merged. I think you can add an alternate email address for correspondence if/when you can no longer access email at the original address. See HE68: Apple ID: Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID for more information.
